Ashes of Creation NA Servers List
Ashes of Creation’s NA servers are the heart of the Early Access launch, giving North American players multiple realms to explore Verra together. Here’s how they work, where they’re located, and what to expect when you log in.
Current NA Server List
At Early Access launch on December 11, 2025, the main North American realms are Shol, Resna, and Lyneth. These are designed to handle high player loads using Intrepid’s new IntrepidNET server mesh tech. Each realm can support thousands of players at once through dynamic gridding that automatically balances load across zones.
More servers may open if queues rise or player populations spike. All NA servers are hosted through Amazon Web Services for reliable uptime and scalability.
How Servers Work
Each server is its own version of Verra. The world map stays the same, but the story, node progression, and settlements grow differently on every realm. Player choices determine which towns evolve, what dungeons open, and which wars break out.
That means no two servers will ever share the same world history. What happens on Shol may never happen on Resna or Lyneth.
Regional Performance
Shol is hosted on the US East region for lower ping across most of the continent. Resna and Lyneth are centrally located for balanced latency across time zones. All NA servers run on IntrepidNET, which allows multiple micro-servers to work together instead of one single world process. This keeps large-scale battles, sieges, and open-world events running smoothly.
Population and Scaling
Ashes of Creation servers are expected to support between 8,000 and 10,000 concurrent players at launch, with room to scale toward 50,000 as technology improves. Queue systems will manage overflow during prime hours, and new servers will be deployed if wait times grow too long.
Population throttles prevent overcrowding and avoid future server merges. Instead, Intrepid uses character creation caps to keep balance and maintain performance.
NA Prime Time and Events
All major PvP and PvE events on NA servers will run within a local prime-time window between 3 PM and 9 PM server time. This includes castle sieges, settlement wars, and caravan raids. The timing helps keep event participation even across North American regions.
Final Blurb
Ashes of Creation’s NA servers set the foundation for the game’s world-building and community systems. Each realm grows differently, shaped entirely by player actions. Expect heavy testing during Early Access, server wipes when needed, and evolving worlds that tell their own stories as Verra expands.
